Daisy and Violet Hilton (1908-1969) were born in Brighton, England,
to a poor unmarried barmaid called Kate Skinner. Skinner sold
the conjoined twins to her employer, Mary Hilton, who trained
them to sing, dance and play music. The sisters were subsequently
exhibited all over the United States and Europe. Daisy Hilton
is reputed to have said, "We don't mind having people stare
at us. We're used to it. We've never known anything else."
